the majority of nra members support common sense gun safety laws. they want to make sure that when a person wants to purchase a weapon that they are only able to do that when they've submitted to a background check. my good friend mark kelly, gabby's husband, proved numerous times this year by submitting himself to a background check, how easy it is, how quick it is and what kind of a safety measure that would be because if you look at all of the shootings that have occurred and there have been 26 since president obama has been in office, mass shootings in which multiple people have been killed or injured by murderous criminal who should not have had a weapon in the first place if we have laws in place to ensure that that would not have happened whether it was because of their mental illness and because of the criminal background check to prevent them from having access to a weapon. >> we are also getting new information on obama care. the numbers are good. health care.gov got 29,000 people signed up on sunday and monday. that's more than in the ent

stricter gun control laws, do you support or oppose stricter gun control laws. 50% to 49%. almost half the country is basically saying, no, we don't want background checks. >> that's a six point dip from after newtown. the lesson here is if you want to get something done, you need to take the opportunity when the country is paying attention, when the people are personally affected by seeing 20 children being gunned down by a crazy person with a gun. i think on a really important dynamic to keep in mind on capitol hill with the nra is that personally i think they want to be a lot more reasonable than they are, but they face the equivalent of a primary challenge every day. there is a group called the gun owners of america that is much more hard-line that is pushing them further and further -- >> pushing -- >> the nra further to the right, because they're taking the hard-line stance that even these things, they're opposed to extending this current ban from 1988, so the nra has taken a position where they don't want to lose all credibility on capitol hill, and all credibility a
